Command confirmation request (526E06)
Your command:
SUBSCRIBE OGL Lawrence F. London, Jr.
has been received. You must now reply to this message (as explained below)
to complete your subscription. The purpose of this confirmation procedure is
to check that the address LISTSERV is about to add to the list for your
subscription is reachable. This is a typical procedure for high-volume lists
and all new subscribers are subjected to it - you are not being singled out.
Every effort has been made to make this verification as simple and painless
as possible. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
With most mail programs, you can confirm the command by simply using the
"reply" function, without including the original text, and typing "ok"
(without the quotes) as the text of your message. Just "ok" - do not retype
the command or anything else. If this does not work, you will receive an
error message. In this case, send "ok 526E06" instead, using the same
procedure with which you sent the command you are now asked to confirm. In
other words, with most mail programs you will only need to type "ok", but if
you are unlucky you may have to retype the confirmation code as well.
Finally, your command will be automatically cancelled if you do not confirm
it within 48h. After that time, you must start over and resend the command
to get a new confirmation code. If necessary, wait until you know you will
be able to reply in time. If on the other hand you change your mind or
realize you made a mistake when typing the command, you do not need to do
anything - it will expire on its own in 48h and, if you discard this
message, there is no risk of confirming it by accident.
